Hope For Peace

I am writing this letter on the arms race and the building of missiles. It makes a person wonder: We are told that each country has enough weapons to destroy themselves.

I believe we should be strong in our defense so that no adversary can ever try to attack our beloved country. But I hope we can persuade the two big powers to put an end to this arms race before they destroy the human race.

You read about how many women and children are killed and buildings destroyed in the world, and for what? To gain power over one another. Why don't they pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give them wisdom and guidance to negotiate in a peaceful way? When we read in the Holy Scripture that our dear Lord said, "Peace be with you, not as the world gives but as I give unto you."

We need His intercession as we see the world today. So I ask you all, as Passion Week is approaching, that we ask our crucified Lord to bring peace to our troubled world.

May God bless you all, and I extend my sincere wishes for a very happy Easter to everyone.
